Martin Luther King Day!

Happy Martin Luther King Day! Happy Inauguration Day!

As I got my 5 and 6 year old ready for bed tonight my son asked me if we still had no school on Monday. I told him yes, but than asked him if he knew why. Parker quickly told me that "its Martin Luther King Day", and he reminded me he had colored a picture of him hanging on our door. I then asked do you know why we celebrate that day? He and quickly answered "yeah, he was a man that got shot with a gun and died and its his birthday".

At this point as a Mom I was thinking OH NO he missed a big chunk....and decided that now we needed to sit down so he would understand what the day really meant. My next question (which I assumed I'd be answering), after reassuring him his answer was correct was "do you know why those people killed him?" Now my 1st grader is excitedly going "I know", but I waved off her answer wanting to hear from Parker.

What happened next, made me so proud. "Oh yeah!" says Parker, "they didn't like him because he thought that black and white people and everyone else should get to use the same rules AND they should, Night." Now Sara Beth, who is now in the other room can't hold it in any longer and yells "he called it His Dream!"

So as we go about our day tomorrow, I will be thinking all day that I'm thankful that my kids have amazing teachers, because really an answer like that from a Kinder student is amazing! I'm a proud Momma! So hug your kids, and THANK a Teacher today!

About Me

Hi there, my name is Heather Plotzke and I decided to sell Close To My Heart products for the sheer reason of I LOVE using them. I am a scrapbooker and papercraft shop-a-holic from way back. I have 6 great reasons to be. Along with being a proud wife of a recently retired 25+ USMC wife living in San Diego County, CA; my husband, Gordon and I are the very proud parents to five, yes I said it, FIVE children. With our childrens' ages ranging from college age to elementary school, the variety of pre-coordinated styles that Close To My Heart has to offer is perfect for me.
Our company philosophy, of "faster, simplier, easier" is more than a motto for me....its a necessary way of life. Let me SHOW YOU HOW! With any of your papercrafting, memory preservation needs! Heatherplotzke.ctmh.com
